Greetings.  After looking at your recent photos dated 1905 of Hong Kong's First Class and Third Class trams, I found this 1911 photo of a  streetcar used in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.  It must be of the same generation as the two in Hong Kong, given the similarity in their appearance and chassis.  This one, or at least the heavy machinery part, likely came from the same factory in Britain.

The film appears to be something like 'A Certain Smile'?

Your comment below and the one about the Hoover cinema is interesting.  I shall insert the same date for both films, simply to illustrate that, whether Frank actually went to both cinemas on the day that he took the photographs or not, sometimes when it was hot and humid we did go to two cinemas one after the other simply to enjoy the air conditioning inside.  (Andrew)
